:::OFFICIAL SNEAKER CARE/MAINTENANCE POST::: (It's back!)

Just won these OG 1985 AJ 1's on eBay for $140. I am going to do a full restore and I have questions dealing with the leather. I want to recondition and protect it to make it as it was in '85. I have read Angelus Lustre Cream is the way to go. Is there any other method to restore the leather from that 'dry, cracked' like state?

If you don't mind me asking, what size are those? And yes, I recommend angelus creme
 
Anyone know any nike shoe that uses same tongue as AJ 1 ? Needing to replace the black tongues in mine without having to buy another bred pair

AF1 High and dunks are similar, but I don't think they are exact. Are you interested in buying a DS pair of these for a donor tongue?

If so PM me.
 
Just got in my second pair of sneaker shields. I order the universal pre-notched this time because I only had the protectors. They feel 100% better than the protectors. Best investment ever!!

No creases what-so-ever

Is it possible to sole swap jordan 1's? My 01 black and red 1's sole is really worn down but the upper is still very good. Wasn't sure since the midsole is sewn. Any help is appreciated

I am sure it is possible, but it would be more work than its worth. You would never be able to stitch the midsole back right.
 
Is Angelus red leather paint same color as used on the retro IIIs (white/red/grey) or do they have a custom color to match like the true blue color? Anyone know offhand?

 So I'm currently customizing a pair of Jordan 4s, and I am dying the nubuck on them when somehow the dye seeped through the tape and got to the sole. Is there any way to fix this?

Does anybody know how to fix this defect? I've tried baby wipes, acetone, and magic eraser.

You want good donor shoes, but don't want to pay fair price. Good luck with that, don't really have a suggestion other than keep looking.
